Suprised no thread on this yet. Astonishing talent, as always. Presentation marginally better than usual BUT.....! On the strength of Alison Balsom's remarks the young trumpeter won't be going forward, but strangely she was the only performer who brought tears to MY eyes. But my, haven't you got to admire the quality of these young players. It did strike me how fortunate they were to have supportive - and well to do? - parents.

I haven't heard a single trailer for, or mention of, the Young Musician competition on Radio 3.Last edited by LMcD; 19-09-24, 12:30.
